Chen Nong said with a guilty conscience: “I don’t want to go.”
Mrs. Chen laughed angrily, pointed at him and cursed with a smile: “If you really didn’t want to go, you wouldn’t be up all day and night over this matter. If you really didn’t want to go, you should have gone to Moxiang Pavilion to work as your copyist during the day. go.”
Chen Nong was speechless by Mrs. Chen’s words.
Mrs. Chen: “Tell the truth.”
Chen Nong was silent for a while, “That day I put down my bold words and didn’t want to work in Siye Mansion, and showed that I didn’t want to have anything to do with Siye Mansion. Wouldn’t it be embarrassing if I went back again. And Siye Mansion is now in full swing, It’s not necessary that I’m a scholar. If I go and get kicked out, my face will be gone.”
Mrs. Chen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She said that the authorities were obsessed with her. The way Si Yefu invited her husband that day did not look like a scholar like him.
“Then you are willing?” Mrs. Chen said: “Since you are afraid of losing face, then go to Moxiang Pavilion tomorrow.”
After she finished speaking, she lay down and went to sleep. Before going to bed, she warned Chen Nong that if she disturbed others, she would spend the night on a cold couch outside.
Chen Nong: “…” This development is wrong. Shouldn’t we be considerate and comfort him?
The next day.
Chen Nong had breakfast, picked up the utensils used to go to Moxiang Pavilion, and prepared to go out.
Chen Meier caught up with her, “Daddy is finally going to Siye Mansion? Meier wants to go too!”
Mrs. Chen came over and held Chen Meier, comforting her and saying, “Daddy is going to Moxiang Pavilion, Meier, don’t follow.”
Chen Nong: “…”
He lowered his head and met his daughter’s confused and disappointed eyes. Not knowing what to say, he hurriedly left home.
He lowered his head and walked forward quickly. When he arrived outside a street in Si Ye Mansion, Chen Nong looked at the gate and stamped his feet.
He pinched the purse hanging on his waist. There was a folded talisman in the purse, and his expression became determined.
It was this talisman that convinced him that his experience that day was not false. It was also with this talisman that he no longer felt dizzy when he listened to the nursery rhyme.
“If you’re embarrassed, be embarrassed.” Chen Nong whispered and walked towards Si Ye’s mansion.
There was only a short distance from the gate. There were more and more people around, and Chen Nong’s pace became slower and slower.
When they were about to arrive, Chen Nong raised his head and looked at two Si Yefu disciples.
What a coincidence, Shen Hou is on duty today.
Chen Nong blushed.
Shen Hou’s eyes were bright.
